Hot Read For 2016: Libertarianism for Beginners

Todd Seavey wants a small government and for people to do what they want with their own bodies and property, he said in his interview with Reason.tv.

Seavey, a comic book writer based in New York who previously produced for John Stossel and contributes to Splice Today, became a Libertarian when he went to Brown University in the 1980s.

“The experience of having everybody around me on campus say the left is the way to go and then…seeing communism collapse made me think maybe the libertarians have a better handle on how these things work,” Seavey, author of the new book Libertarianism for Beginners, told Reason.tv. “While the Soviet Union existed, the Marxists on campus were rooting for the Soviet Union.”
